The Random Hair Thoughts Megathread

[spirals]

If I let my hair air-dry and don't comb it out at all, I get natural finger waves up front. Now I need to figure out how to keep them on non-wash days.

I need to do a lot of shrugging haha

Shrugging (with weights I guess) builds up your trapezius muscles. Therefore, if you shrug enough you'll get buff shoulders, which in turn will make you reach shoulder length faster.
Big brain time

We are finally watching the last seasons of game of thrones and I am so appreciating the hair. Did everyone’s hair get better as the show went on? Apart from the characters who are (obviously to me) wearing wigs.
But the (cbl? length hair) half ups with a little bun of the Stark family style is my favourite...looks so good!

I'm kind of over the fairytale ends and how thin the end of my braids always are. I wonder if I would enjoy a blunt cut with thickened up ends at hip Or maybe I'll just dye the ends I'm getting sick of to have some semblance of fun with my hair for once... Those Lunar Tides dyes sure are tempting, I've been eyeing smokey mauve for a while now—it's such a beautiful color

If it's a choice between cutting or dyeing the ends, I'd suggest dyeing first. Then if you're still sick of the ends, you can still cut them off, but having hopefully had a bit of fun first

I'm a bit tired of spending hours and energies on my hair and have it always in a terrible shape no matter what. I don't know what it wants. It's not wavy, it' not straight, just a big frizzy mess. Oh, now I also have dry dandruff out of nowhere. I mean, it grows slow, it's frizzy from the roots, it's not shiny, always so difficult to detangle at the roots, take ages to dry ... Sometimes I feel like my hair is just ugly. The only good think is its softness.

We are our own worst critics! Maybe time for some benign neglect

I agree, this might be the path I end up taking. It's kind of a win both ways

Maybe try another routine / haircare method and see if it works? I thought the same thing about my hair until I changed products and changed my product application. I was really upset about my hair like two or three weeks ago, and went back to my old routine and all is good again.

Working out as well as gaining length 2 birds 1 stone!

Hang in there! Mines a frizzy mess too can relate, you got this though

I was thinking about this... just shampoo and conditioner and then air dry could be something I can try....

My routine is basically the same for an year now, not the same products but the same kind of products, so I thought that maybe my hair needs something different but I still can't figure out what.

I know you can understand my struggle.

There is a little update. I washed my hair and I used this mask/deep conditioner (that has proteins too) and then I applied my new leave in conditioner. Well... it looks a little bit better. It's less frizzy and I can see some wave trying to form in what was my wavier side of the head. It's not the first time I use that mask, but at the same time I don't know if it's just the new leave in.
Maybe should I try to deep condition more? Even if my hair already feels soft? I wasn't using a leave in in ages (just styling product) because of its softness with just a regular shampoo & conditioner.
I'll experiment more.
